A real home from home. So convienent for Ulverston. Everyone so friendly and nothing too much trouble for the owners daughter in law Vicky who lives next door. Really good pubs ( especially Farmers Arms. superb food ) Had a really good week .

This is such a lovely place to stay as the cottage is very thoughtfully equipped and laid out. It is near the town but relatively quiet. There is a small garden for the dog. Vicki next door to help if something goes wrong. Perfect!

“This cottage is stylish, cosy and ...”

This cottage is stylish, cosy and well equipped. The wood burner keeps the place warm - there was snow on the fells. It is an excellent location for the town. Everything was well organised for me , the key, the parking permit and the owner's daughter lives next door and so she is on hand if you need any help. I look forward to returning for another holiday. Well done!

A comfortable home from home with everything that you could want as a base to explore the Lake District.

“Wonderful find”

Hawthorn cottage is a delightful find in a great town for visiting the Lake District. Its location is amazing. Less than 500 yards from the market cross in the middle of town, yet the views and sense of peace from the garden are truly rural.
The cottage is very well equipped, with all the mod cons you could want, including very good wifi. The bathroom has a fab shower and awesome bath. Its very nicely finished. The same applies to a really spacious bedroom with a comfortable bed and good quality linen.
Vicky and family (who live next door) provide a really good welcome. They genuinely are nice folk who are interested in making sure your visit is a good one.
..... and the weather was great. 'nuff said?
You'll have a wonderful time here.

“Beautiful cottage, great people and ...”

Beautiful cottage, great people and a beautiful area. Everywhere was so quiet and clean. Plenty to do and see and fabulous walks for the dog. The bathroom was something from a 5 star hotel and the whole place was so well equipped,clean and comfy.

“Hawthorn Cottage was in a perfect ...”

Hawthorn Cottage was in a perfect location for nearby walks for the dog, from the doorstep. It had a perfect sized garden for a medium sized dog. The cottage had exceptional facilities; a fabulous double bath and amazing power shower, constantly supplying hot water. The log burner in the front room was perfect and nothing was missed. My partner particularly liked the addition of a dishwasher, allowing him to 'relax' a little more on holiday! The host was very friendly, helpful and only next door if we had any queries.

“Everything was great! Hawthorn ...”

Everything was great! Hawthorn Cottage was ideal and just perfect for a quiet, cozy, weekend getaway. It is near to some nice attractions but, to be honest, I didn't really want to go very far. I did venture to Coniston and to the nearby Conishead Priory meditation centre, both of which had some nice spots for walking the dog.Tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings appropriate to the character of the house. There is a pleasant view across Ulverston from the back garden.
Curling up with a book, with a fire in the wood burner, was just perfect. The cottage is right by the road but it is not busy so it was nice and quiet, with mostly just birdsong audible.

“Ulverston's best holiday cottage for two people!”

We actually stayed at this cottage THREE separate times in 2015 as we are conducting extensive research prior to moving to the Furness area. Having previously stayed in other self catering properties and most of the hotels in Ulverston we know quite a lot about the competition. Hawthorn Cottage met and exceeded our expectations. It is close to the town centre but without the parking and noise issues. Vicki who manages the property and lives nearby has been very helpful and showed a genuine interest in our property search.

“Mr & Mrs”

An absolute delight! Fantastic spacious cottage with a lovely little garden. Lots of unexpected extras like fresh flowers, milk, coffee, sugar, tea etc upon arrival. Really welcoming. The cottage was very well equipped too. There was also a really helpful box of tourist information which provided some great ideas for walks and trips around the area. We had a dog with us so really good walk suggestions for guests. The town itself with shops and pubs literally a minutes walk away so great location. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“Lovely cottage, good situation, and dogs welcome”

Beautiful old cottage with traditional latched doors and a wood burning stove. Kitchen is modern and well-equipped - this is not one of those "self-catering" places where you discover too late that there's no corkscrew or egg cups. Dogs are welcome in downstairs area. There is an enclosed rear garden with views over the slate roofs of the little town to the hills beyond. A minute up the road and you are in open country with footpaths for dog-walking. Five minutes down the road is the market square with shops, pubs and restaurants.

“Lovely Cottage in perfect location”

We loved Hawthorn Cottage. It was a characterful place with excellent furnishings and décor, as well as a wood burning stove. Ideal place for a short stroll into the fascinating town of Ulverston. The owner was friendly and helpful. There's a small garden and views from some windows too.
